^It would very likely have to be local in that a labor exchange is most commonly a barter arrangement. And without an agreed standard for valuation, how much are you worth really? The answer is: it all depends on local needs. Take it beyond that and you're right back to creating a private currency since its tokens, scrip, or account balances become a general medium of exchange.

^Well the idea of a mutual credit system is to 'become a general medium of exchange'.
I'm not sure what exactly you mean when you say that beyond local, you're creating a 'private' currency - but I think you might be right :)
- I presume you mean with all the pitfalls of todays currencies.
